Karla de Faria Vasconcelos is dentist, Doctor in Dental Radiology (PhD at State University of Campinas? Brazil, with a period of external internship at KULeuven - Belgium), Master in Dentistry (Federal University of Goiás - Brazil) and Specialist in Oral Radiology (University of Campinas). She has worked, as Radiologist, in a private radiology clinic. She has been involved in interuniversity research collaborations, with a specific focus on imaging research (digital radiography, cone beam computed tomography, artifact in CBCT and micro-computed tomography).

The use of advanced methods such as cone beam computed tomography may help decision making in the diagnosis of the bucomaxillofacial region. However, the literature shows reduced accuracy of this imaging modality in the presence of high-density materials, due to the interference of artifacts. The application of algorithms called metal artefact reduction (MAR) has been suggested to minimiz…
Image quality of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) reconstructions is seriously compromised when metals are present in the scanned volume generating some artefacts. Shadows and streaks mask both the metal objects and the anatomical structures in the vicinity, thus prejudicing or even invalidating diagnosis. One of the possible solutions to reduce the artefacts and thus significantly en…
